Dr. Cho provides a "road map" for us by showing us the things we need to change in order to get there and live there:We must change the way we think We must live by faith, not by sight We must dream God's dreams We must change the way we speak We must change the way we behave Yes, these are the keys that open the door to the Fourth Dimension for every child of God who wants to know and experience God in all His fullness. As you read this book, you will gain glimpses into the spiritual dimension, a wonderful place of love, peace, and joy, and you will be inspired to go there and stay there.
